- Reply-to: fnf at redhat dot com
I just posted a fairly long analysis to the gdb-bug list about how
remote targets can miss breakpoints internal to a line or fail to
print the breakpoint info for a breakpoint at the end of a stepping
range, when single stepping over a source line. This patch will fix
the testsuite failure until the remote/native difference in resuming
execution in the single step case can be resolved.
Comments?

* gdb.base/break.exp: Setup xfail for remote targets for the
"step onto breakpoint" due to the way remote targets handle
breakpoints at the end of a stepping range.

# Check to see if breakpoint is hit when stepped onto

+ # source line in one operation local to the target because gdb won't
+ # have breakpoints inserted for the first single step and thus won't
+ # print the breakpoint at the location it stops at after stepping.
+ # Note that removing the current stopped-at breakpoint (number 5) would
+ # cause this test to succeed. Perhaps we should try it both ways.
